Another Bull Shit story from the King Serial Liar fishing for way to out do Ron DeSantis driving’his’ campaign to the hard right…..
Birth Right citizenship IS in the Constitution….
This promise from a guy who was gonna build’ ‘his’ wall on the first go round and THAT did NOT HAPPEN…..
Former President Trump is returning to his calls to remove birthright citizenship, with his 2024 White House campaign announcing Tuesday he would seek to end it via executive order on his first day in office.
Trump announced his plan on the 125th anniversary of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court case that established the constitutional right to birthright citizenship….
…
Most experts agree that a president does not have authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order, primarily because the practice is enshrined in the Constitution.
The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to those “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
The widely accepted interpretation of that amendment — that it applies to children born in the United States regardless of the parents’ immigration status — has held since an 1898 Supreme Court case involving a U.S. citizen with Chinese parents.
The 14th amendment was adopted after the Civil War to guarantee equal rights for former slaves – immigration restrictionists argue that excludes the children of other groups like undocumented immigrants from its benefits….
By and large the majority of Republicans are essentially opposed to the Constitution of the United States.
They seem to want to run their OWN show….
What does THAT rhyme with?
Well, at least they’re against the 14th Amendment, which the Democratic Party of the day (1868) fought against tooth, nail and racist slander.
Not needed….
Just a side comment for progressives and media play
